The food is a place for your tummy.
You see, the smell of food lurks through the air
The food is shared equally very fair.
My home in bangladesh is beautiful
It is a comfortable place for me.
Bangladesh homes are comfortable
I want to see new homes today
I got to see them today hooray!
Bangladesh is my culture you see, a place i dearly miss.
This is my football life

When I see a ball it takes me higher.
I am in the zone I am not alone with my friends having fun.
This is me with my family
My dad likes to drive,
My mom like to cook
My brother goes out to eat while i am inside still thinking about him.
This is me!
My family is from bangladesh,
They live in a small village,

This is me!
My family are celebrating eid and ramadan while they forgot to in invite me the have fun
Now you know,
This is me.
From Nahida.
This is me
If you say that i’m stupid if you say that i’m dumb,
How would I feel like I’m number one?
How can I keep on running on?
It’s my life it’s my rules you have no right to choose,
It’s my hair it’s my skin,
Don’t you dare tell me how to fit in!
So keep on talking your rubbish,
And glare at me with your little eye,
I am me and will rise in the sky,
Maya once said there’s nothing I can’t be,
I am me and always will be!

Express Yourself
Identity Identity it’s all about
Me,it show my culture and
Appearance.
I am proud to say
I come Jamaica
Caribbean
And Britian they all represent
Me.
Identity Identity
It can show facts about me .
JUST BE YOU!
I wake up in the morning
I’m always yawning
It’s time for maths,dance and English too
My friends look at me and say yoo!
When i go home i chill
But i can’t resist eating
After my food my eyes lock on the clock
It’s time,time to play.
When i go to sleep I dream
I dream
I dream
One day i will be rich
One day i will play for arsenal
One day
One day
One day
I can be anywhere.
I can be anywhere,
Hidden or seen,
You might not like me,
But thats you not me,
My dreams are free,
Just like me,
But that’s not all,
Just wait and see.
I have grey eyes darker than the moon,
Blonde hair that glistens in the noon,
I love many things like a good tune,
But that’s not all you’ll see soon.
I can be anywhere,
Hidden or seen,
Talking in the sunlight,
Or hiding in the moonlight,
I can be anywhere,
In a dream,
I am the queen of where I can be,
I am the queen of poetry.
England, I love it
I love the food in England
Even though it tastes bland
England, I love it,
Especially football
I fall,
Even though I don’t have grip on the ball.
England, I love it,
The things I see and smell,
Especially fish and chips
And i quickly mix with sauce,
Especially ketchup
A very famous condiment here.
England, I love it,
England, I love it!
My country, oh how I miss it.
My country,oh how I miss it.
The sun smiling right down at me.
Which is giving me the vibes of my country.
Of course,I love england my friends and cousins are here
But all the time I wonder,what will happen while I not
there?
My family tells me its alright and I know we will visit one night.
My hopes and dreams will set me free and maybe even come to life.
I remember how I dressed in all the patterns and me saying yes its me.
I remember how I speak ,I remember how I greet.My country,oh how
I miss it, oh how I miss it, Togo.
Challenges
My challenging life,
Which sometimes was Fun,
Never had an incident that came up,
When I gave up.
Never had a day
That I stopped going,
Never had a day
That I stopped growing.
It felt like going through fire,
It felt like going through ice,
But still
I never gave up
So you don’t have to!
My challenging life.

I am Maaz short black hair as the night
Dark brown eyes like chocolate
I am proud of my skin colour
I am very helpful at home
Respectful to others
I know all my times-table so maths is fun
Good at football(even in goal)
My skill is never undone.
Being a great friend and a great brother
I am a great son to my marvellous mother
Being a fan of Liverpool FC
It is part of my Identity.
Mo salah is the best
Better than the rest.
This is my football life
I am a striker when I play i’m on fire!
When I see a football it takes me higher.
I am in the zone I am not alone with my friends having fun.
I know what it is feels like growing up
I was alive
Began to crawl.
I knew I was perfect
Then my roots shot up
Branches extended
I walked.
I was alive
I was walking around
The amazing world
Until I got sick
Leaves turn yellow
Leaves abandon me
I became bare.
I was alive
Everyone is dying
I need to hold the torch
Of giving oxygen to the people
Pollution is everywhere
Cut down.

Life Challenges
When I was born, I liked to play
out in the sun. I learned to
walk, talk. Even how to use
A fork. I may have learnt how
To walk, talk and use a fork.
But that still wasn’t enough.
As i got older I could go to school
And learn things i couldn’t do
Before. I could get on a bike
And pedal far. I could write
A thousand word essay, but
I could still study more.
Rayan Ahmed
ME
I love my family
My parents,
My siblings
And especially me
I’m from Somali
And i’m proud to be
I cherish my religion
From learning quran
To celebrating eid
I hold my treasured religion
In great esteem

Do you know how man united was made it was first neinton lfc then it changed to what it is now
Ronald ronlado you make us win
Antony Antony dont make a shame
Luke shaw try your hardest
Man United Has Antony De hea Martenez LUke shaw Erik ten hag
Cmon try your hardest every game
What is your name?
Ronaldo Ronaldo How is your life here C’mon we are united
Difficulties
Just like a baby’s first walk,
Knowing that it will soon learn to talk;
I must begin my adventure
While I think about the future.
The struggles of disagreements and being old
Having children and having colds
Where is the fantastic future that we have been told
Was it a lie,
Or something true?
Do they believe I am better than you?
Just like a baby’s first walk,
Knowing it will struggle to pick up the fork;
I must conquer my land
Without the thought of the humiliating hand.
The struggles of a company crumbling
And petrified people mumbling
How do you buy what isn’t on sale?
Please don’t make me go to jail!
Was it a lie,
Or something true?
Do they believe I am more sly than you?
Keep on Going
My culture is fun,
Especially on Eid
I come for the money,
But also the food
Which is immaculate.
We always celebrate
But with the family
As we should,
My culture is fun.
I want to challenge myself
And face them,
There alway fun
But you have to face them.
When there gone, everything
Is easier
I want to challenge myself.
Jehan Alharthy
Life like
I like to play games
And play football and i like to eat
I watch anime and i eat all day
I watch horror movies i never get up
I never get up my eyes swell and my bellies like a well
Suspense is my type my only type
I sleep and i weep all day in bed
Never get sleep and i never get weak
My bones are rigid
And my brain is numb.
Free life empty life.
Self Esteem
When I was young,
My highs had begun.
I loved playing football,
And having fun.
But I didn’t realise,
My lows had also just begun.
My lows were dreadful,
And horrible.
They were dark moments in my life,
If that ever happens to you,
You should always fight.
Because anything can happen to you,
In the blink of an eye.
So fight,
Fight,
FIGHT!

Great pakistan
We created parathas but the turks beat us to the kebabs.But all is not bad
We still invented some kebabs
And other great things like too keema
We are proud of winning the cricket world cup
But England and Eygypt beat us in football
As our military never give up they are not ashamed of were they
Come from as we are strong and we never
Give up go great pakistan we don’t need guns and bombs
We will fight with anything to protect our country
Stick, rocks and bows just like
I said anything let us go and conquer
countries
This World
Having all the world to myself,
Would be a dream,
Would be a dream.
Being black and a girl is hard,
People being racist from left to right,
Thing can be tough.
Overwelling never being right,
Just because i live in a poor neighborhood.
Now when i wake,
I hate to be fake ,
But this is what i have to be`.
Putting out my,
Getting myself in danger ,
Is hard enough,
Trying my best ,
Talking my way out is never the best ,
At home feeling the guilt ,
Identity
This is my life.
I am proud of being who I am.
Basketball football and having fun,
These are the things I should have done.
ARE you who you really are?
Don’t be afraid because people don’t like you for who you are.
Keep trying, never give up.
Keep climbing that mountain, be ambitious.
Climb,climb,climb until you are at the top.
Then everyone will see who you really are,
They will be cheering your name loud and proud.
If your challenges are getting hard and people don’t want to
Be your friend.
Because you are not popular don’t listen to them,
Try your best until you reach that goal.
Reach out to people find good people who don’t care about fame only
Kindness and friendship, people who are loyal.
If people are looking down on you and you will never achieve anything
Never look down, always up!!!!!!!!!
My life
My life i grew older,
And older i like
Nature looking trees growing
And looking at the cloud
Seeing animals that are white
Floating in the air
However…
I hate the people cutting down trees
Snoking
And throwing rubbish everywhere
Everyday
Every Second also,
Not recognising that
The population of trees cut down is 90%
Playing football in the grass it still grow
My life
My life My life

By Abdullahi Haramein
Me, me, all about me!
Me me all about me.
My hair from the bark of trees,
My eyes from the bluest of skies.
My eyes, my eyes, depending on my mood,
Blue when happy,
Green when sad.
Friends, family, i love them all so much!
They help me cope with all the tough times
Im funny, happy and energetic.
Me, me, only me
My hair and my eyes are from hazelnut trees,
Me, me, only me
My thought and my are mine and only for me
Me, me, only for me
My soft smile is for me and my kind,
With long ears and hopping feet
My friend are as nice as can be
MY CULTURE
Sitting at home celebrating eid
having fun and enjoying the
Special day.
Enjoying the day with family
and friends just like how the
sun shines happily.
Eating my food that is
Rice and chicken and
Drinking juice that makes me
happy.
Going to the mosque and
wearing my stuff and praying
For the good rewards.
After praying 5 times a day,
having fresh air as cool as a fan.
Reading the quran on the special
day for all the bad sins to go.
Stone Ocean
Popular with pride
With a thriving mind
I sat there and gazed
At all the people who amazed
Funny, cool and lit
Everyone has a gift
But I’m not a fit
I want to be free from this stone ocean
I want to be free from this stone ocean.
Popular with fame
Life isn’t a game
Family, friends and beliefs
Everyone has a gift
But I wasn’t meant for It
I’m not flashy nor funny
Some people can make origami
But I’m me
And you are you
I don’t want to be free
I will be free.

Life In My Family
When I was young,
I hated my siblings.
They never seem to hit our tease me
but they always pulled rebellious pranks.
Once I overheard their plan,
They wanted to hit me with mum’s favourite tomato can.
I wanted to get them back so I hid in the trash and cried
“They threw me in and dashed”.
My mum has one job my dad has two,
We live off leftover food.
We get homeschooled to save on money
Its kinda hard like a bear trying to get some honey
We don’t complain
But now things aren’t the same.
We take a bath once or twice and there
Always mice that run on sight.
One I hurt my belly,
Mum said to stay on the
Couch and watch some telly
My life is kinda lame but i try not
To complain.
As long as i have my family
Things are always the same,
As long as i have my family
Things are always the same.

Both of us
There used to be a squad,but now there just a player.
There used to be diocricse , but now it’s just a vote.
It used to be all of us,
But now there’s just me.
There used to be a game,
But now it’s just a void.
There used to be a town,
But now it’s just a house.
There used to be a jungle,
But now it’s just a desert.

My memory stew
Take some memories
And let it settle
Then over run it with some metal
Remove the nightmares and bullies
And replace it with movies and smoothies
And lot of loves and hugs ,
Mother smiles and father laughs
Going mosque with my parents day and night
Is fun
Where I always see a dog wiggling it’s
Bum
My sisters are big ,thin, short and tall.
Someya the rude sister
She always pulls my hair
Hazaf the dancer she
Always dances to Twice
Twice a day
You my be rude but I will
Be kind
We all go to the trampoline park
Where we always see kids hugging their mum
Memories memories
They all come to me
Nightmares nightmares they
All go away
stew the mixture then then pour it into a cup
Have a goodnight stew
share the stew with a family

My and my bike
I woke up in the morning,
thinking about riding my bike,
I brush my teeth,
and I was ready to go.
I got my bike,
It is no ordinary bike
it a magical bike,
I discovered that it could teleport you anywhere.
At first I went to school from 7 o’clock to 12 o’clock.
Reflection
When i was young,
I loved to have fun.
But when i grew older,
My memories were filled like a folder.
I went to Egypt,Tunisia,Jamaica and spain,
But it just felt like one little game.
wasn’t enough to solve it,
I needed a puzzle piece so I could resolve it.
The piece was there in my mind,
I knew it.I Knew it.
It was my family line
I loved my family
I knew that was the missing piece
They care for me respect me all the time
So I need to give them my family line.

FACE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT
Make it for you
Like i make it for me
I reach for the stars
as i reach to Allah
Islam is me and you can’t change it
I love me and my fabulous personality
Who am i,
And what do I know?
But family makes me, me
And keeps me going
I’m here today facing it till i make it
A magical feeling,
That lifts me up
As high as i can go to reach the top
Everything i love just makes me stronger
Just like my football
That i can’t stop
I do these skills so naturally
As if it fills me up to the brim
Where do i go, where do i go
To reach the top, to reach the top
I love this fun,
Scoring goals as a midfielder
Being a girl oh being a girl,
SO DON’T STOP NOW!
‘Face It Till You Make It.’

then you need one now.
or you’ll be lonely and boney
the way I made friends.

Them come to me .
If they didn’t come to me I’d go to them that’s how I
Have eight friends and BFFs.
My Life From The Start
The first time we open our eyes ,
we feel clueless and new to this world.
Our first steps make our careers happy but us,
confused.
Our first time higher than the skies was exciting for our parents.
But us,
we didn’t know what was happening
As we age we can’t help but question why didn’t we care
We wish to please our parents but us we couldn’t bare
The more we age the more people question
But we stare,stare till we don’t care
As we shed a tear and break our motivation,
our parents don’t care.
They say not like this,
It’s like this.
I just lower my head and sigh,
But next time i won’t lower my head and sigh.
I will be proud and never shed a tear,
and live up to my name.
And next time they tell me how to do it,
I will not listen,and do it how I want to.

CUSTARD!
When I was younger,
My mum came home with the shopping.
As she was putting the food in the cupboard,
She pulled out a tin.
I said mum what is that tin?
Custard she said.
Can I try some?
Yes.
So I snatched the tin and gulped it down….
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I loved it.
So I ate the lot.
The next day when i came home from school,
My eyes couldn’t believe it!
5 tins of custard!
Later that night,
I got out of my bed and thought…..
CUSTARD.
I sneaked past my door and slowly tiptoed down my stairs.
BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM oh no watch out for the creaky step
CREEEEEEEEEK!
They’re still snoring.
Back to work.
BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM.
I’ve made it.
So I opened the cupboard, snatched the tin, gulped it down….
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
I loved it.
So I finished the lot.
I went back upstairs and got into my bed and then dreamed about CUSTARD!
The next morning,
I went downstairs for breakfast but then my mum said
Charlie,
What is that stuff around your mouth?
What do you mean?
“Go upstairs and look in the mirror.
I ran upstairs, looked in the mirror and….
OH NO!
IT’S CUSTARD!
I slowly walked down the stairs feeling ashamed.
That’s it no more custard for you ever again!

In our best outfit looking like a proud family.
In Ramadan fasting and not eating but still like family.
Eid with family and friends eating rice and chicken
Going out to arcades and swimming with family.
But all I know is that my family loves me.
Sitting in the living room watching a movie as a family
Mum and dad ,sibling coming to watch play football matches
But all I know is that my family loves me.

You will see Bangladesh
Take some spices and flavour and then
Let them cool down for a bit.
Then, you will taste Bangladesh.
Put on some colourful and golden design
With sparkles.
Then, you will see Bangladesh.
Play some songs with beautiful language
And lots of dances and sounds.
Then, you will hear Bangladesh
Love Bangladesh, Love your Bangladesh.
